Chapter 468: Pond rippling
The next day came and the news about Michael’s Mystic talents continued to spread.
But despite how interesting the news was, business still had to continue—especially in the Upperwoods District.
Today was the last day of the festival, meaning that this was the last chance for companies to try and increase their rankings by getting a lot of sales.
The seventh day of the festival was usually the busiest day out of them all. This was where people swarmed stores in an attempt to buy items and services with the discounts given only during the festival. It was the last hurrah, as others liked to say.
Companies doubled their staff, increased their inventory, and prepared for the crowd of people that swarmed through their doors.
But as the day started, something weird happened. Many companies saw a distinct lack of people visiting their stores. The amount of people that entered their premises was the exact same as the day before, with not much change.
This was very weird because they expected the last day to have almost double the amount of customers they had before.
They thought this was simply a slow start, and that more people would come as the day progressed.
But as the sun continued its journey through the skies and reached the zenith, the customers they got still remained at a constant rate, with no increase or decrease.
Many companies were weirded out at this point. And eventually, they sent out their own people to investigate the cause of this phenomenon.
And they didn’t have to walk far before they stumbled upon the answer.
